Business DNA or state government DNA or a combination of all. See one could even make an argument that by government forcing people to sell to "X" despite thier religious objections, you are discriminating against them.
I think, yelp, are more of a reflection of "who we are", than some dumb law that actually protects racists and bigots, despite themselves. I'd rather know the racist to avoid patronizing thier business than force them to sell to everyone and me not know.
So dramatic.
Why can't two gay guys find another bakery for their wedding? Because that would waste the opportunity for prime attention whoring.
And I eat pizza all the time without discussing my sexual orientation. I'm amazing that way.
I've seen that argued by the social conservatives as recently as last night, but I consider it the same way I do the Orwellian redefinition of the word 'bigot.' Any law in some ways "discriminates" against someone. Drug laws discriminate against drug users and drug sellers! Etc.
So, no, I don't see a requirement that a business open to the public serves the public as discrimination. They're asked to comply with laws - they have hundreds to comply with, all of them "discriminatory" in some way.
I do get that there are tough cases, but that's true of most laws. They all have downsides, often significant downsides, so we weight the good and bad and make informed choices on them.
I guess I disagree. I'm not all that interested in whether someone, for example, approves of the "gay lifestyle." If they treat them fairly as human beings in the market, work place, employment, housing, etc. even if just because greed overwhelms their principles, fine with me. We really ARE all prejudiced/bigoted in some ways, so overcoming them in how we deal with people is a virtue all its own.
The flaw in your thinking is you assume those religious people recognize what they're doing as "bigotry." Everybody can rationalize their own particular brand of bigotry, and it's never referred to as "bigotry." Here in America, it's "religious freedom."
Matthew Sheppard is a good example....not a tree...but essentially the same thing.
I don't believe our creator would allow someone to be born in such a way they would be forced to live a deviant lifestyle. (In his eyes)
I also do not recognize any analogy that involves the plight of Black with that of the homosexuals. Imo, it's beyond comparison in this country.
So far, the radio interviewer that initially talked with the store owner has raised just short of 200k for them. In a few hours.
Well played.
Chik-Fil-A is asking the gay community to re-egage their outrage against them for a few weekends.
Mathew Sheppard? really?Matthew Sheppard is a good example....not a tree...but essentially the same thing.
"literally strung up to a tree"....
So no so "literally" I guess. lol
This is exactly what the bigot was hoping for. He played this solely to profit it off him....and the rest of the bigots fell right for it.
What difference does it make....whether you are strung up in a tree or tied to a fence post. Either way you are dead. Literally.

bigotry is an overused word by class-warfare hacks.
if I choose to only date women between the ages of 20-and 26, I'm practicing discrimination, and you could even argue I'm a bigot.
like the pizza joints discrimination, my discrimination is my right.
SHE was asked a question on a radio interview. Initially I thought it was pretty foolish of her to rush out there make such a claim. Then the facts came out. She was asked a question...she responded.This is exactly what the bigot was hoping for. He played this solely to profit it off him....and the rest of the bigots fell right for it.
Mathew Sheppard? really?

Matthew Shepard Murdered By Bisexual Lover And Drug Dealer, Stephen Jimenez Claims In New Book
Of course...the HuPO IS a conservative rag ranking right up there w/ Fox News (they wish)...so take it for what it is worth...
As I said, bigots don't recognize what they do as bigotry. It's always referred to by a euphemism. The euphemism in this case just happens to be "religious freedom."

I suppose you are right. She probably COULD have figured all the bitter angry hate filled little intolerant assholes would rain down on her establishment and she could close shop for a month and take a vacation off of the voluntary largess. OR it could be that people are tired of the incessant bull**** people like you spew on an every day basis and arent willing to shy away from their positions and beliefs any longer. And lord knows how THAT pisses people like you off. Its supposed to WORK, isnt it? You are supposed to be able to throw out a few empty headed insults and people are supposed to just hush up and be silent.

It could work. First you have to film a few people losing their **** about you, making a steady catalogue of bitter angry hate filled rants on twitter and the like.Hmmm. My I-phone has a camera and I want to hereby announce to the world that I refuse to photograph any gay weddings.
Now, Ill just sit back and wait for the cash to roll in...
how you form the english language does matter, if you meant metaphorically, you don't use literally.. jus sayin.
Perhaps. And perhaps it just makes your cause look as tired as the CHik Fil A protests did.Face it....they played you and the rest of the bigots like a fool. There was no reason that they had to close. They did it to play the Martyr card and profit off it. It worked to a T
Unless your penis is a public accommodation, the two are not comparable in the slightest, and you demean our intelligence by uttering such nonsense.
This has nothing to do with right wing or left wing (well left wing it does). that is a dictionary definition. I am sorry if you don't like what the DICTIONARY has to say about it.
it has nothing to do with me or the right wing, but people like you attempting to change the definition of a word because you don't like it.
It makes perfect sense if you adhere to grammar. if you say that you are tolerant yet spew hate and vile at those that have a different opinion than you then you are not the tolerant person you claim to be. please see the definition.
I am sorry you don't like the definition of tolerance but that is what tolerance means according to the dictionary and you don't get to change the narrative because you don't like the fact you are not as tolerant as you claim to be.
blablabla.
slave holders hid under a cloud of legality too.
my moral compass is better then yours.
